25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Signed off for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland with hard-fought win at Galway (2m6f, yielding) in the autumn but was pulled up when reappearing for new stable at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) ten days ago and needs to turn things around quickly. |

Absent since October when he signed off for Gavin Cromwell with a 2m6f win at Galway (yielding); stays 3m and should get this far, but would need to see some confidence behind him. |

26th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 111y |
11st 1lb |
Won two of his six starts over hurdles; latest second at Fairyhouse his most encouraging run yet over fences but only four ran and his jumping was a bit scruffy; will need to be sharper all round in his first handicap but the ability is there. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 6lb |
Won first two chases in the autumn, including a Grade 3 at Cork; jumping left him down in novice handicap at Cheltenham; faded in the straight when behind He's Gorgeous at Punchestown and question mark over his stamina for this trip. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time winning hurdler in 2024; immediate winner over fences at Galway (2m2f, yielding) before following up in a Cork Grade 3 novice (2m4f, good to yielding) next time, with You Oughta Know 2.75l behind in second; poor effort in Grade 1 company in November at Fairyhouse; never on terms after a bad mistake at the fifth at Cheltenham when last seen; tough task conceding weight all round. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Returns from a layoff, having shown all of his chase form in the autumn, winning twice (including 2m4f Grade 3) prior to a form-dip in Fairyhouse Grade 1; needs to resume progress but has big-field handicap experience, namely a good effort over hurdles at the 2025 Dublin Racing Festival; cheekpieces added. |

Point-to-point winner has finished second in a bumper and made frame in maiden hurdles; excuses on last month's handicap debut so remains a potential improver. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Led close home to win tactical hunter chase at Fakenham (3m, good) last month; found things happening too quickly and jumped badly right throughout when remote last of three at Warwick (2m, good) 18 days ago but moves back up in trip here and the switch to a right-handed track ought to suit. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
1st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
First wins for three years when striking last month in a Paxford restricted (2m4f) and Fakenham maiden hunter chase (3m, led last stride), both on good; prospects would improve if curbing the habit of jumping right evident on both of those occasions. |
11/4 |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed some fair form under rules when based in Ireland and comfortably won minor point at Paxford (2m4f, good) for new stable a week ago; not sure to be suited by this move back up in trip but still commands respect; sports refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces. |

Much improved handicapper of late, notching up a hat-trick of wins at Cork, Kilbeggan and Listowel; well held when below her best in Grade 3 novice latest and again faces stiff task here but place claims. |

10st 9lb |
Formerly with Emmet Mullins; 0-4 for current yard and hasn't been that involved in those races, all handicaps at up to 2m3f; this longer trip may help with her pointing background. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Unexposed 6yo who showed significant ability in points/bumpers when based in Ireland; safely held in two handicap hurdles for new stable last month (2m/2m1f) but may still have potential; watch the betting. |

Unexposed 6yo who showed significant ability in points/bumpers when based in Ireland; safely held when 40-1 for recent stable/handicap debut but that was her first run since September and it wil be interesting to see whether she's stronger in the betting today. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 180y |
11st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough under this rider at the 15th attempt at Punchestown in December (3m, heavy) when making all in first-time cheekpieces; up 5lb and beaten 16l at Punchestown last time (2m7f, heavy); capable of more. |

10th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Back-to-back runner-up finishes at Punchestown at the end of last year/new year were the best of his handicap efforts; three runs since then have been disappointing, finished 24l behind at Wexford last time; can get involved at his best but risky. |
14/1 |
